Sasha
says that she's waiting on the Stake President for a signature so she hasn't
been able to schedule with the temple yet, but she's pretty sure that she'll
get endowed on the 26th. I guess you'll have to wait and see what happens.
El Tajin was really cool. It was a pretty place for sure. That being said, I
forgot my adapter and my companion forgot his camera so we'll wait still on the
pictures...
The woman is going to wait to get baptized, but her enthusiasm
didn't decrease at all. She said that she'll send me pictures of the wedding
and baptism. Her son chose to get baptized anyway (we'll also wait for the
pictures until next week).
There's another investigator that wants to get
baptized before I go who is waiting to recover from an eye surgery. He'll have
his appointment today and we'll see if he can do it or if he'll have to
wait, but either way I'm sure he'll get baptized at some point so it's fine.
I
haven't been able to find a nativity set. I'll keep an eye out, especially when
I go to Xalapa. I have tried, but it's hard out of season. That being said I do
have a back-up plan that I hope you'll like. We'll see if I can get both
things. The eating thing is something I'll figure out when I get a bit closer.
I really don't have a strong preference though.
This week my goal is to just
remember that it's still not about me and that I am to continue representing
the Savior and doing his work. The tender mercy/miracle was being able to
baptize Oswaldo and seeing Carla (his mom) take the news well about waiting.
For P-day the zone tried to surprise plan a Carne Asada for me to celebrate (I
found out beforehand, but the thought counts haha). It was really nice of them.
I'd give a big shout-out to the sister missionaries who were the ones that went
the extra mile with the planning and preparation. Of this event I will send
pictures that were taken by other missionaries.
I decided this week to make a
bit of time to read a general conference talk each day along with my regular
study. I would look for the "marriage" topic in the old ensigns we
had sitting around and read. I thought it'd be funny haha. But I did get some
good stuff out of it and what I learned can be applied to anything. I just
reinforced the idea that we need to trust in God in making sure that we seek
His will in all things as well as that we should make Christ the center of
everything. In all reality I think that those eternal truths show up in the
study of just about any gospel topic. I also enjoyed studying chapter 3 in Colossians.
Love
you,
